Intimate surgery is recommended for women who present vaginal concerns such as: overly large and protruding labia minora, sagging labia majora, darkened vaginal area, deflated and aged labia majora, and widened vaginal muscles after one or more childbirths.
It is a type of intimate surgery that treats hypertrophied labia, meaning labia that are larger than desired.
This condition can cause suffering for women, both emotionally and physically, and may also affect their sexual life.
First, because it can harm self-esteem and cause embarrassment during sexual activity. Second, because excessive labial size may lead to discomfort and pain.
After evaluating each case individually, the surgeon determines the amount of tissue to be removed. Functionality must always be considered, as the labia minora play an important role in protecting the vaginal opening.
From an aesthetic standpoint, the goal is to remove only the tissue that remains visible outside the labia majora when the woman is in a natural standing position.
Labiaplasty can be performed on women aged 18 and older.
In most cases, hypertrophied labia have a genetic cause. However, it is known that the indiscriminate use of anabolic steroids may cause irreversible enlargement of the labia minora and the clitoris.
It is not common, but some bruising or purplish discoloration may occur in the area for a few days immediately after surgery.
Returning to work depends on the type of activity. Patients who work seated may return within three to five days. Those who work standing or walk frequently should wait a bit longer, usually around three weeks.
Physical activities may be gradually resumed starting in the third week, under medical guidance. Special care should be taken with exercises that place pressure on the area, such as cycling.
Sexual intercourse should be avoided for at least one month, until the area is fully healed.
Scars are usually very discreet.
Considered a procedure with a relatively simple recovery, labiaplasty takes approximately 40 minutes.
For this surgery, epidural anesthesia with sedation is commonly used.
However, surgical time and anesthetic technique may vary from patient to patient. Hospital stay is typically brief, and in most cases, the patient returns home the same day.
